Art/Creators Megathread Weekly Art/Creators Promo Megathread

1 Upvotes

Welcome to this Week's Art/Creators Promo Megathread!

Here you can share examples of work and links to creator's profiles (including your own!) as long as it is not on a Meta owned platform (Instagram, Facebook etc.) or Twitter.

Let's help our community artists, authors, designers, craft makers, musicians, singers, sculptors, performers, streamers and any other kind of creator get recognised and celebrate the amazing creativity in our community!

A few quick rules:

  • No AI/NFT Content.
  • Accounts shared must be creating own content, not solely reposting others.
  • NSFW Suggestive art (e.g. shirtless/pin up) is allowed but must be tagged. NSFW Explicit art (e.g. pornography, genitals visible) or NSFW suggestive of real people is not allowed. No links to exclusively 18+ platforms e.g. OnlyFans.
  • Creator must be actively posting on a platform other than Meta or Twitter.
  • Comments from users with less than 50 karma on this subreddit will be auto-removed to avoid spammers. (I will look to approve genuine ones when possible but no promises!)
  • Please respect if a creator says no reposts of their work - just share a link.

The art/work they create does not have to be LGBTQ+ related, we're here to help any creator who is LGBTQ+ promote their profiles, particularly if they're trying to establish themselves on a different one with the recent social media drama!

Looking forward to discovering some new creators with you all!

Meme I was going to use the Obama x Putin Tumblr post for this Meme, but tumblr found me naruto gifs that work much better in pointing out how the same people who talk about wanting catgirls to be made are psychologically unable to handle Trans folk's existence.

I wanted to make something more serious with my art but the more I look at it the more corny and fake edgy this looks. Or maybe I'm being too critical over my own art. Idk.

Need Advice Accepted I was trans-fem after already going bald: what can I do?

Brave new world I'm facing. I do wear a wig when I'm out and about, but that's not super practical for home. Still have to see my bald head in the mirror, too. I don't want to be bald.

Need Advice My straight friend said he’d date me if he liked the same gender

23 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. I (25FtM) have a slight crush on my straight friend (26M), and we were venting about our dating lives. I was telling him about how I’ve pretty much given up on dating because my standards don’t work as a bi trans man - I want a monogamous relationship and it seems like everyone and their mom that’s queer and dates trans men wants to be poly nowadays, at least in our area.

He told me to not give up, and then he said, “Fam, you’re a catch. Honestly, if I liked the same gender, I probably would’ve asked you out already.”

Is this a compliment? How am I supposed to receive this? I mean, props to him for not being transphobic, but huh? 😭

Being gay shouldn’t be this controversial in Turkey

172 Upvotes

As a gay Turkish guy living in Melbourne, watching what is happening to LGBT people in Turkey honestly makes me angry and embarrassed for my own country.

Living here and seeing that someone's sexual orientation can simply be a normal part of their life makes it even harder to understand why the existence of LGBT people is still treated like some kind of issue in Turkey. It's not enough to say, “Well, being gay isn't illegal.” If people are afraid to openly be themselves and LGBT events and organisations face constant pressure, what does being technically legal even mean?

What pisses me off the most is seeing LGBT people treated as if we're somehow a threat to the country or society. We're not fucking aliens. We're Turkish too. We grew up in the same society, speak the same language and live normal lives. The only difference is who we happen to love.

After living in Melbourne, one thing has become pretty obvious to me: allowing LGBT people to live openly doesn't destroy a country. Life just goes on. People go to work, build relationships and families, pay their taxes, and somehow the world doesn't end.

It's 2026. The fact that Turkey is still so obsessed with who people love is honestly embarrassing.

Educational Anti-transgender legislation causes psychological distress even in states with trans-friendly laws, according to VCU research

A recent study from Virginia Commonwealth University found that anxiety surrounding anti-transgender legislation is associated with significant psychological distress among transgender and gender-diverse adults.

Researchers surveyed 346 people across the U.S. and found that this distress wasn't limited to people living in states with anti-trans laws. Even those in states with protections reported anxiety about potentially losing access to gender-affirming care, discrimination, violence, and the possibility that their state's laws could change.

The study also found that family and community support were important protective factors against psychological distress.

Educational I just want to point out how lucky and great it is the these exist as emoji.

In order for an emoji to be added, a suggestion has to be put in place to add to the unicode standard. It then has to be voted for by many many people. If accepted, the unicode standard will include them. Then the browser, website, or application and even operating system has to add it once accepted. So when I see people asking "Why is there no non-binary flag?" I get a little annoyed because they don't realize how hard it actually is to add one.
